[LINKS] Free Auto Models

This is a list of legally-free auto models and other auto-related items. While all of the resources listed here are free-to-own, some of these models are only free-to-use for non-commercial purposes. It is the user's responsibility to remain in compliance with each model's license.

As always with my lists, contributions of links to other legal free auto models and auto-related items are not only welcome, they're encouraged.

Just a note here Robkelk....on all the motorcycles from the Honda site. The format for all the parts you assemble is .lwo (lightwave). This format can be converted very easily with the Pose Ray converter you listed under "Utilities" at the very start of this thread. Actually, it converts .lwo files better than some other formats like .3ds. Always has the textures intact. All the parts will load in place after conversion as long as you do not move them before saving them. If you need to scale the model, just be sure you parent all the parts to a main section like the frame or body section, then all will scale together.

Their is a lot of auto models at 3Dbar.net.http://3dbar.net/?cat=23
All in .3ds format so PoseRay is needed to convert them.
Some of texture mats for the race cars will need to be swapped left to right.
And few will need to go into Hexagon or your favorite modeler to repair the "exploded parts."
All in all, their really nice.
Note: None of these models have readme files, so there is no record of who made the mesh. So to be safe, non-commercial use only!

We now have a wiki page for most of this list! I say "most of" because the wiki is for Poser and Daz Studio freebies, while this list includes freebies for AutoCad, Cararra, Hexagon, Vue, and 3D Studio.

Please continue to point out freebies in this thread. If they're for D|S or Poser - pp2, cr2, obj, or (since Poser can use them natively) 3ds - please also add them directly to the wiki .
